A man owned a small farm in Ireland . The Inland Revenue claimed he was not paying
proper wages to his staff and sent a representative out to interview him.
'I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,' demanded the rep.
'Well,' replied the farmer, 'there's my farm hand who's been with me for 3 years.
I pay him £200 a week plus free room and board.'
'The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her £150 per week plus free room and board.'
'Then there's the half-wit. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90%
of all the work around here. He makes about £10 per week, pays his own room
and board, and I buy him a bottle of whiskey every Saturday night. He also sleeps
with my wife occasionally.'
'That's the guy I want to talk to...the half-wit,' says the agent.
